  1. Why? by Swaffs · · Score: 2, Troll

    Why would anyone use Netscape when there's Mozilla? What advantages are there?

    I was a long time Netscape user (4+ years) and always thought it was better than MS IE. Then they released the horrible load of crap known as Netscape 6.

    Since then I've been using Opera which is great.

    And what's deal with Mozilla? I've tried a couple of builds in the 0.8 - 0.9 range and they're still horribly buggy. After trying 0.91 and finding that Bookmarks were still seriously broken I gave up and went back to Opera.

    They've been working on Mozilla since 1998 and it's still a buggy pre-1.0 ??

    I can't believe this BS!!! 25 Megs of Bloat Code and they still can't declare this thing stable. I HAD to give up on Netscrape 6.0 after my PC kept crashing into oblivion. I don't like MS or Internet Exploder, but it's a lot more stable and lets me get my work done.

    UNINSTALL YOUR COPY OF IE!!!! what, you can't remove IE from your system?, I guess you'd better remove your system.

  6. Re:Why people use Netscape instead of IE or Mozill by Hadean · · Score: 1, Troll

    The only people I know who still use Netscape (any version), other then careful website designers, are government agencies... Those poor souls are still using Netscape 4 in some places - although, amazingly, some are quietly switching to IE whenever they get a chance (and whenever a kindly visitor helps them in the switch). A lot of these saps, though, will be switching to Netscape 6.1 ... Why? Who knows... just "because that's what we've been using" ... pfft.
